A trail of Oreos could lure pretty much anybody anywhere.

Especially if you're a runaway potbellied pig.

Charlotte the potbellied pig ran away from her Middletown, Ohio home last week, her owner Yvette Hoffman told a local TV station. Hoffman said the pig was likely looking for friends but encountered police, who tried to capture her.

Once Hoffman got wind that the 200-pound Charlotte was missing, she and her son showed up armed with a leash and a pack of Oreos to lure her back home.

Apparently her favorite kind of Oreos are the limited-edition "The Most Stuf" kind, and she ate nearly the entire pack on her way back home. An icon and an inspiration, truly.
